The image presents a determinant equation that you are asked to prove. The equation is as follows:

\[
\begin{vmatrix}
a_1 + b_1x & a_1x + b_1 & c_1 \\
a_2 + b_2x & a_2x + b_2 & c_2 \\
a_3 + b_3x & a_3x + b_3 & c_3
\end{vmatrix}
= (1 - x^2) 
\begin{vmatrix}
a_1 & b_1 & c_1 \\
a_2 & b_2 & c_2 \\
a_3 & b_3 & c_3
\end{vmatrix}.
\]

### Step-by-Step Outline:

1. **Left-Hand Side (LHS) Determinant Expansion:**
   The determinant on the left side involves linear terms in \(x\), so we can aim to expand it using properties of determinants. Specifically, we'll treat each entry in the matrix as a combination of terms with and without \(x\).

2. **Factorizing the Result:**
   The right-hand side (RHS) of the equation suggests that the LHS determinant should simplify to a form proportional to \((1 - x^2)\). To achieve this, we must carefully manipulate and simplify the determinant by row or column operations.

3. **Determinant Properties:**
   Determinants follow linearity in rows/columns, meaning if one row or column is expressed as a sum of terms, the determinant can be broken up accordingly. This will likely help us separate terms involving \(x\) and recognize a factor of \(1 - x^2\).

4. **Comparing with the RHS:**
   After simplifying, we expect the final determinant to factor out as \((1 - x^2)\), times the determinant of the matrix with no \(x\) terms (as shown on the RHS). This confirms that the LHS and RHS are equivalent.

Let me proceed with the algebraic manipulation to prove this.

### Detailed Proof:

Starting with the determinant on the left-hand side:

\[
\begin{vmatrix}
a_1 + b_1x & a_1x + b_1 & c_1 \\
a_2 + b_2x & a_2x + b_2 & c_2 \\
a_3 + b_3x & a_3x + b_3 & c_3
\end{vmatrix}
\]

We can split the terms involving \(x\) in each row to factorize and simplify.
